Last night, HBO aired the documentary "Going Clear: Scientology and The Prison of Belief," which we at The Frisky have been excitedly awaiting since first hearing about it, as we are giant nerds about knowing everything there is to know about Scientology. In fact, Amelia helped research the book Inside Scientology by Janet Reitman! And, although Robyn's only direct experience with the group was the...

A few weeks ago, I got my hands on a copy of a stretch workout DVD called Lastics (yeah, I still use DVDs, I’m a rube). I’m not super-inflexible - I’ve done my fair share of yoga, I can touch the floor with straight legs, and I’ve always wanted to be more human-pretzel-y. But oh my god, guys. Oh my god. The first time I went through this Lastics DVD, I experienced pain like I haven’t felt...

Meet Trevor Noah, your newly-announced host of "The Daily Show." He's a wickedly funny comedian with a lot of experience and a very-necessary and refreshing take on race. If you’re a comedy nerd, you probably know who this man is. If you’re not, here’s what you need to know.
1. He was born into apartheid in South Africa.
Born to a black South African mother and a white European father in 1984,...

Lelo's Siri 2 is a delightful little gem made to bring musical magic to your sex life by pulsing in time with the songs of your choice. It looks like a tiny remote control, sized to fit perfectly in the grip of your hand (or elsewhere on your bod). When I first pulled it out of the box, marveling over its light-up buttons and sifting through vibration settings, I was thrilled to give it a try....

By now, you've probably read that the Germanwings Airbus A320 that crashed in the Alps earlier this week was deliberately brought down by co-pilot Andreas Lubitz (above). French prosecutors say that voice recorder evidence indicates that Lubitz, 28, locked the other pilot out of the cockpit and steered the plane to its descent; his breathing -- and the screams of passengers -- can be heard on the recorder,...

North West isn't even 2-years-old yet, but she already leads a posh it-girl lifestyle and keeps company with the likes of Beyonce and Anna Wintour. Sure, she always leaves the house impeccably dressed, but her real secret is the essence she brings to her clothes. She's all about embracing the classics with her own occasional edgy twist. Her parents are happy to style her, but who says super-baby...

Tuesday night, CNN aired a special on Atheism, called "Atheism: Inside The World Of Non-Believers." I watched it, and, as a "non-believer," I was not particularly amused. First of all, they called Richard Dawkins the "Father of Atheism," which is 32 flavors of ridiculous, and second, the whole thing really seemed to portray atheists as having the same kind of factions as religious people -- nice people...

Last week, I wrote about knowing and accepting when it's time to move on. I've been getting that itch lately, telling me that it is time to leave the Big Island of Hawaii. I know that I don't really have any other choice but to scratch it and say "see ya later." Though, as nature would have it, actually doing so has proven to be incredibly challenging. It's never easy to leave a place (or a person)...

I could not have been more annoyed when Sarah Palin called herself a "feminist." It wasn't because I think a hairy-legged, Diva Cup-loving separatist in Berkeley should get to decide what a feminist is. (I am quite sure she would take one look at my mani/pedi and send me back to the gallow… More »

How did I miss this masterpiece at the library by author Big Boom? What a funky nom de plume by the way! I look forward to learning more about how to keep my legs closed. [This Isn't Happiness]… More »

Jonathan Rhys Meyers of "The Tudors" was reportedly hospitalized this week after trying to commit suicide by overdosing on pills, People and The Sun are reporting. The 33-year-old actor, who's clocked in five stints in rehab for alcohol abuse over the years, was allegedly found slumped over on the ground by paramedics who… More »

I read Eliza Jules’ essay “I Obsessively Monitor My Husband’s Lube Bottle” over at xoJane and was left with this question: Is a partner’s masturbation something we should worry about? The more I’ve thought about it, though, the more I’ve concluded that, for me, I’m at the very opposite end of the… More »

Chris Hansen knows all about catching people red-handed on camera. Since 2004, as the host of "To Catch a Predator," he's worked with law enforcement as they pose as underage girls online and ask pedophiles to meet them at home. When the front door opens—bam!—there's Hansen and a camera crew. The dudes do some seriously… More »
